Newsom: Everyone 'Should Be Disgusted' Over Trump's Behavior

Newsom: Everyone 'Should Be Disgusted' Over Trump's Behavior

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has said everyone, whether Democrat or Republican, should be "disgusted by the behavior of the President of the United States."

The Democratic leader made the statement when discussing the "racist trope" that President Donald Trumpfeatured on his Truth Socialaccount last week. The post, which has since been deleted, consisted of what appeared to be an AI-generated video and depicted former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama as apes. It was part of a screen recording of a conspiracy theory over voter fraud during the 2020 presidential election.

"It's disgraceful. It's racist. It's abhorrent,"said Newsomduring a press conference late Tuesday. "The President of the United States sending out a racist trope should disgust every human being in this room. Everyone. I don't care if you watched Kid Rock this [Super Bowl] weekend or Bad Bunny."

Newsom went on to criticize how the White House and Trump handled the situation, after both blamed the posting of the video on an unnamed staffer. The President said he had instructed a staffer to share the video, but claimed to have not seen the offending content. He also refused to apologize, claiming he "didn't make a mistake."

"In any other circumstance that person would be fired, the board of directors would ask him to be fired. Be ashamed and humiliated and would have apologized. He did none of the above," Newsom said, arguing that the public discourse moved on too quickly from the uproar.

"I can't believe that was washed away just with another news cycle. How the hell is he allowed to get away with that?"

Newsom also accused those closest to Trump of excusing his behaviour, specifically claiming that House Speaker Mike Johnson had "countenanced that racial video." When asked whether Trump owed the Obamas an apology last week, Johnsontolda reporter that the President had not known about the offending content before it was posted.

TIME has reached out to the White House for comment.

Hours before Newsom's remarks on Tuesday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked if the White House had a "social media problem."

The question was posed in relation to the video containing the racist trope and also a recent post published on Vice PresidentJ.D. Vance's account which referenced the "Armenian genocide." The message, which has since been removed, sparked questions as the U.S. government does not use that term for what happened in the early 20th century.

Leavitt said the White House doesn't have a social media issue, but failed to offer further comment on the video featuring a depiction of the Obamas.

Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, the only African-American Republican Senator, previouslydescribedthe video as "the most racist thing I've seen out of this White House."

Newsom has long criticized Trump's social media rhetoric, and has even taken to adopting the President's vernacular in his own online posts.

Ahead of Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance on Sunday, NewsomdeclaredSuper Bowl Sunday "Bad Bunny Day" in California. He made the announcement in a post that appeared to mock Trump's social media style and mimicked how the President has previously pronounced "Puerto Rico." Trump, meanwhile, was among a group of conservatives who instead championed Turning Point USA's alternative to the Super Bowl halftime show, which featured Kid Rock as a headliner.

When asked about his renewed approach to social media last year, and his decision to mirror the MAGA playbook in some of his content, Newsomtoldreporters: "I hope it's a wake-up call to the President of the United States following his example. If you've got issues with what I'm putting out, you sure as hell should have concerns about what he's putting out as President. To the extent it's gotten attention, I'm pleased."

A 410-pound manatee rescued from a Florida storm drain is now recovering at SeaWorld Orlando

A 410-pound manatee rescued from a Florida storm drain is now recovering at SeaWorld Orlando

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — A manatee that got stuck in a Florida storm drain whileseeking warmer watersis now on the mend at SeaWorld Orlando after a large effort to rescue it.

Multiple fire rescue units and officials from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, the University of Florida and even Jack's Wrecker Service were brought in Tuesday to get the 410-pound (186-kilogram) sea cow out of the storm drain in Melbourne Beach.

The crews convened on the scene after a worker with Melbourne Beach spotted the manatee, the city's Vice Mayor Terry Cronin told WESH-TV in Orlando.

"We're in the process of improving the storm drain across Melbourne Beach. Our people were doing a survey. And one of the surveyors noticed a manatee in what is called a bethel box." Cronin said.

The male manatee was taken to SeaWorld Orlando, where it is being cared for in one of the park's medical pools, spokesperson Stephanie Bechara said.

"He's breathing on his own, moving independently and showing interest in food. Our teams are adjusting water levels to support buoyancy and comfort as part of his care," Bechara said.

She said they work to stabilize and rehabilitate rescued manatees so they can ultimately be returned to the wild.

The protected species is still recovering from a mass starvation event. In 2021, officials recorded more than1,100 manatee deaths, mostly caused by starvation. The state's Fish and Wildlife agency said the number of deaths were down significantly, with 565 deaths recorded in 2024, and 555 deaths in 2023.

Last year, SeaWorld Orlando rescued 56 manatees and has already taken in seven this year.

'It's time to get aggressive', Border Patrol agent says in Chicago shooting video

'It's time to get aggressive', Border Patrol agent says in Chicago shooting video

By Renee Hickman

Reuters

Feb 10 (Reuters) - Federal prosecutors have released bodycam footage in the case of a Chicago woman who survived being shot multiple times by a Border Patrol agent during an immigration crackdown last fall, part of a ‌trove of evidence that casts doubt on the Trump administration's account of the incident.

Soon after the shooting, the U.S. Department ‌of Homeland Security said Marimar Martinez, a U.S. citizen, had rammed the agents with her car. But the footage suggested that the agents could have struck her vehicle themselves.

Video, ​emails and other records were released by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Chicago late on Tuesday after a district court judge said that the government had shown "zero concern" about Martinez's reputation.

Martinez, a Montessori school teacher in Chicago, was following the agents on October 4 to warn residents of their presence when the collision occurred. In the bodycam video released Tuesday, one agent could be heard saying "do something, bitch" shortly before the vehicles ‌made contact.

An agent in the vehicle, driven by ⁠Charles Exum, said they were being boxed in. "It's time to get aggressive," he said, adding "we're going to make contact." After the collision, Exum stepped out of the vehicle and fired five shots.

Martinez drove off, and was ⁠taken by ambulance to a local hospital. The Department of Homeland Security released a statement after the shooting saying that Martinez had "ambushed" the border patrol vehicle, and that an agent had fired in self-defense.

Martinez, 31, was indicted on charges of impeding a federal officer. The charges were dropped in November, ​but ​the DHS statement labeling her a "domestic terrorist" has remained online.

Martinez said she sought ​the release after the fatal shootings by federal immigration ‌agents of protesters Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis last month and to clear her name. Her lawyer, Christopher Parente, said on Tuesday that she also planned to file a civil lawsuit.

AGENT BRAGGED ABOUT MARKSMANSHIP

In the bodycam footage, agents, including Exum, could be seen inside a Border Patrol vehicle driving as protesters honked their horns outside.

In the moments before the collision, an agent said "We're gonna make contact and we are boxed in," just before the video showed Exum, at the wheel, turn the steering wheel sharply to the left.

"Be advised we've ‌been struck, we've been struck," the agent wearing the bodycam said into a ​radio.

Exum then opened the door with his weapon drawn.

During Martinez's court case, evidence was ​shared that Exum had driven the vehicle, a Chevy Tahoe, back ​to his base in Maine, and that repairs were made by a Customs and Border Protection mechanic before ‌the defendants could examine it.

Text messages from Exum also ​surfaced in court including one in ​which he bragged about his marksmanship in a group chat with other agents. "I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book, boys," he wrote.

The records released on Tuesday also included an email sent the afternoon of the ​shooting by Border Patrol official Gregory Bovino, who ‌was demoted from his post as commander-at-large, overseeing operations in Los Angeles, Chicago and Minneapolis, following Pretti's death.

Bovino thanked ​Exum for his "excellent service" in Chicago and suggested that the agent postpone his retirement. "You have much left to do!" ​he wrote.

Suspect in Canada school shooting is identified as 18-year-old who had prior mental health calls

Suspect in Canada school shooting is identified as 18-year-old who had prior mental health calls

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Police on Wednesday identified the suspect in a school shooting in Canada as an 18-year-old who had prior mental health calls to her home and who was found dead following the attack that killed eight people in a remote part of British Columbia.

Canada Shooting

Royal Canadian Mounted Police Deputy Commissioner Dwayne McDonald said Jesse Van Rootselaar had a history of mental health contact with police, and that the suspect's mother and stepbrother were found dead in a home near the school.

The motive remained unclear.

Police initially said nine people were killed Tuesday in the attack, but McDonald clarified Wednesday that there were eight fatalities, plus the suspect, who authorities said shot herself. McDonald said the discrepancy arose from a victim who was airlifted to a medical center. Authorities mistakenly thought that person had died.

More than 25 people were wounded Tuesday in the attack in the small mountain community of Tumbler Ridge, police said.

Town is near border with Alberta

The town of 2,700 people in the Canadian Rockies is more than 1,000 kilometers (600 miles) northeast of Vancouver, near the provincial border withAlberta.

Police said the victims included a 39-year-old teacher and five students, ages 12 to 13.

McDonald said the suspect's mother, who was also 39, and an 11-year-old stepbrother, were found at the suspect's home.

The killings at the home occurred first, he said. A young family member at the home went to a neighbor, who called police.

At the school, one victim was found in a stairwell and the rest, McDonald believed, were found in the library. The suspect was not related to any of the victims at the school, he said.

"There is no information at this point that anyone was specifically targeted," McDonald said.

Police recovered a long gun and a modified handgun. McDonald said officers arrived at the school two minutes after the initial call. When they arrived, shots were fired in their direction.

"Parents, grandparents, sisters, brothers in Tumbler Ridge will wake up without someone they love. The nation mourns with you, and Canada stands by you," an emotional Prime Minister Mark Carney said as he arrived in Parliament.

Deadliest rampage since 2020

The attack was Canada's deadliest rampage since 2020, when a gunman inNova Scotia killed 13 peopleand set fires that left another nine dead.

Carney said flags at government buildings will be flown at half-staff for seven days and added: "We will get through this."

Shelley Quist said her neighbor across the street lost her 12-year-old. "We heard his mom. She was in the street crying. She wanted her son's body," Quist said.

Quist said her 17-year-old son, Darian, was on lockdown in the school for more than two hours. The provincial government website lists Tumbler Ridge Secondary School as having 175 students in grades 7 to 12.

"The grade sevens and eights, I think, were upstairs in the library, and that's where the shooter went," she said. Her son was in the library just 15 minutes prior to the attack.

Quist was working at the hospital down the street when the shooting started.

"I was about to go run down to the school, but my coworker held me back. And then I was able to get Darian on the phone to know he was OK," she said.

Darian Quist said he knew the attack was real when the principal came down the halls and ordered doors to be closed. He said fellow students texted him pictures of blood while he remained locked down in a classroom.

"We used the desk to block the doors," he said.

School shootings are rare in Canada, which hasstrict gun-control laws. The government has responded to previous mass shootings with gun-control measures, including arecently broadenedban on all guns it considers assault weapons.

A video showed students walking out with their hands raised as police vehicles surrounded the building and a helicopter circled overhead.

Village is a 'big family'

Tumbler Ridge Mayor Darryl Krakowka said it was "devastating" to learn how many had died in the community, which he called a "big family."

"I broke down," Krakowka said. "I have lived here for 18 years. I probably know every one of the victims."

The Rev. George Rowe of the Tumbler Ridge Fellowship Baptist Church went to the recreation center where victims' families were awaiting more information.

"It was not a pretty sight. Families are still waiting to hear if it's their child that's deceased and because of protocol and procedure, the investigating team is very careful in releasing names," Rowe said Tuesday.

Rowe once taught at the high school, and his three children graduated from there.

"To walk through the corridors of that school will never be the same again," he said.

The school district said the high school and elementary school will be closed for the rest of the week.

Carney's office said he called off a planned trip to Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Munich, Germany. He had been set to announce a long-awaited defense industrial strategy Wednesday in Halifax before heading to Europe for the Munich Security Conference.

British Columbia Premier David Eby on Tuesday said he had spoken to the prime minister about the "unimaginable tragedy."

"I know it's causing us all to hug our kids a little bit tighter tonight," he said. "I'm asking the people of British Columbia to look after the people of Tumbler Ridge tonight."

Gillies reported from Toronto.

Orioles' Jackson Holliday (hand) likely out weeks after Opening Day

Orioles' Jackson Holliday (hand) likely out weeks after Opening Day

Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jackson Holliday will miss Opening Day due to a broken hamate bone in his right hand, general manager Mike Elias announced on Wednesday morning.

Holliday, who sustained the injury during live batting practice last Friday, will undergo a procedure to address the issue on Thursday. His timeline for recovery likely will be measured in weeks, per Elias.

"It's a pretty common baseball injury for a very long time, happens to hitters a lot and it's nothing concerning long term, but he's going to miss some time," Elias said. "You're not going to see much of him here in Sarasota."

Holliday, 22, batted just .242 with 17 homers and 55 RBIs in 149 games last season.

He is the top overall pick of the 2022 MLB June Amateur Draft and the son of seven-time All-Star Matt Holliday.

New acquisition Blaze Alexander likely will take the younger Holliday's place in the field.

"I just feel for Jackson," manager Craig Albernaz said. "He had a great offseason and comes in here early and he's looking great, and a freak thing (happens). ... But his mindset right now is great. He's going to get the surgery and go through the process of rehab and he'll be ready to go."

Also on Wednesday, Elias announced third baseman Jordan Westburg is nursing a right oblique injury. The injury, however, is not expected to prevent Westburg from playing at the start of the regular season.
